Click here if you want the worksheet.

MATERIALS

• Pipe cleaner
• String
• Feathers
• Beads
• Scissors

1. Create a circle out of your pipe cleaner. Twist the two ends together to secure it.

2. Take your string, you will cut off any excess at the end.Tie it to the circle.

Weave the string around the circle five times. Wrap around the pipe cleaner with each weave to make sure everything stays in place.

3. Weave around the center of each of your first five parts. This web does not have to look any certain way, as long as the weave gets smaller. It is believed that nightmares get stuck in the web and are captured so the dreamer doesn't experience them.

4. Repeat this again, going in the center of each of the new parts you have created. This will create your web. Cut off the excess string and tie it together.

There is no standard for this so it's okay if it looks different. 

5. Tie a piece of string to the top of your dreamcatcher. Make sure it is a loop so you can easily hang up your protector.

6. Tie three separate pieces of string to the bottom. Spread them apart. You can make them all the same length, or vary the lengths.

7. Place your beads onto the string. Tie a feather onto the end of the piece of string. This will hold the beads on. Repeat this for the other two pieces of string.

Take your new protector and hang it above your bed. 

Now, your nights will be filled with happy dreams.
